The idea that you can poison a whole area of space is just plain silly.

Great Moment :

Kim playing his clarinet on the bridge. The music was lovely.

Body Count :

The crew of the Malon freighter.

Factoid :

This is the first sighting of the Malons, the delta quadrant's equivalent of the Exxon Valdez.

Plotline

Voyagers crew is going stir-crazy as the ship traverses a void over 2,500 light-years across. But excitement soon arrives in the form of an alien waste disposal worker who is polluting the whole area for profit - regardless of the consequences to both Voyager and the local inhabitants.
